Unearth the contrasting culture and rich history of the southern Italian town of Bari, and take a step back in time at Katakolon where the ancient ruins of Olympia pay homage to the first ever Olympic Games that were held there. It doesn't get much prettier than Santorini, a picturesque port with white washed towns set against a deep blue sea offering stunning sea views. The lively greek island of Mykonos allows you to soak up a cosmopolitan atmosphere which embraces the traditional white houses and tavernas and colourful harbours full of fishing boats. The busy port of Piraeus is just a stone's through away from Athens and the impressive Acropolis which stands above the city as a testament to its ancient glories, whilst the lush island of Corfu offers pretty resorts, attractive beaches and wonderful views.
